Colts' 2018 training camp preview: QB Jacoby Brissett

The Indianapolis Colts expect quarterback Andrew Luck to return to the field during the 2018 regular season but should someone need to step in, the organization is confident in Jacoby Brissett.

Coming over in the trade just a week before the start of the 2017 regular season, Brissett wound up starting 15 games while Luck missed the entire campaign after suffering a setback.

With Luck rehabbing this offseason, Brissett has been taking the first-team reps as Frank Reich’s new offense gets implemented. The 23-year-old has been enjoying a strong offseason.

The Colts need Luck on the field to get his reps in during training camp but having a backup quarterback with an entire offseason worth of working with the offense can go a long way.

The Colts even had some trade offers for Brissett but their value in him is so high they declined those offers, though it isn’t clear what the offers were.

Bottom line: The Colts have a lot of faith in Brissett entering his second year with the team and with training camp just weeks away, he will be taking the first-team reps on offense until Luck returns.
